Just feelin like a little writing

My posts are few and far between these days, and I don't comment as much as I would like. It's a sad state of affairs, because I really want to be more active in the community. I guess I'll just ramble for a bit.

I suppose I should let you know I have big plans for the future. I don't believe myself to really have the personality for it, but I'm really contemplating starting a web show... starring me. I've been very inspired by, Sean Plott, AKA Day[9]. I absolutely love his show, and what I'm envisioning for mine is along the lines of his. Problem is, I'm not much of a talker, and it feels weird to talk alone in my room, and I don't see a camera making it better. I'll probably give up on these plans, but I'd like to think that since I put all the required equipment on my Christmas list, I'll be forced into doing it for at least awhile. I imagine the bulk of the show will be me playing a game and providing commentary. I won't just play one game like Day[9] does, but I'll probably do the same kind of thing he does with StarCraft, but with multiple games. He actually did a stream of him playing Amnesia after bragging about games not being able to scare him, so I typed in the chat 'should play Amnesia', and the chat erupted in support. Suffice it to say, watching him play Amnesia is quite the treat. I may do 'Let's play' sort of stuff like that too, but I'd rather it'd be a more focused show than just a walkthrough of me playing a game. Also, since I'm on this topic, does anyone know how and what equipment you need to stream games from your TV (xbox/ps3 or whatever) onto your computer?

I imagine it'll take awhile for my show to get any sort of footing, but you guys and gals will help me, right? Right!?!

So what have been doing since my last post? Short answer is, Skyrim. The long answer is Skyrim. I've done nothing but play Skyrim since it came out. Yeah I've trundled to work and class, but whenever I'm at home I'm playing Skyrim. The weekend of elevens was a three day weekend for me and I put 50 hours into it. I woke up and immediately started playing Skyrim and played until I went to bed, taking minimal breaks for foods and facilities. I never even turned on my computer, didn't check my phone, it was all Skyrim, all the time.Suffice it to say Skyrim is just about everything I could want in a sequel to Oblivion. Yeah you could dismiss it as basically the same, but that would be doing yourself a disservice. You would be missing out on one of the finest RPGs in existence. There is so much to explore, so many ways to play. Read this review. I could have written it. I could not agree more with Sessler's assessment. I haven't beaten it yet, because I'm being all hardcore and not quick-traveling at all, but that has just made the experience feel richer and purer for me, not that I wouldn't be enjoying the shit out of it if I was quick-traveling. Also, mother fuckin' dragons. It is the only game I've played with dragons (The Souls games were close) in it that has gotten them right. They look right, they fuck shit up right, and they're... right. Honestly it is so damn good, I'm excited to see where Bethesda takes us from here. Thank you Todd Howard and Co. for crafting such and wonderful world I can immerse myself in.
